Here is the most complete version of my SW series switcher... It started out as a SW1200 but I think I deviated from that design a bit.

WOW! Why didn't I find out about this before. I've seen those pictures of your mecha, and I was IMPRESSED, but I didn't know that the Cepheus had clicking-joints. Any chance of a small set of pictures explaining how this works... Actually, you (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Eric, I can't tell you enough about how awesome Chris' mecha is! All the joints "click" into place like a big 360 degree click hing. It's like a big toy. We had it set up on its knees with its hands raised up like Defoe (sp) in Platoon! You just (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
